And Hearts are Warmed.

As you all can see, I have mostly finished the Warm Hearts Ornament. It was a joy to stitch, the kit came with the floss on the presorted card, the chart is bi-colored (with red and black), and the plastic canvas makes life so much better. Though it was a blast, I am glad it is mostly complete minus the felt backing, the cutting out, and the string that is used to hang it. Although those are small things that will take no time to fix, if I'd take the time to do them, it still seems incomplete. I am very sorry for the poor lighting, I took this picture in a dim light room at night on my iPhone. I will try to be more aware of the time of day next post. I know it took a bit longer then I had imagined, this kit should not take more than 2 weeks for a laid back stitcher and I'd guess a week at most for a fast paced stitcher. Although those are just guesses, I think this would be great for the weekends leading up to Christmas. By the way, does anyone have an ideas on the felt backing color?

We Warm Hearts.

Currently, I am working on this lovely (going to be) ornament. It’s a rather quick piece that should take no more then next week to finish. I’m making the ornament for a cross stitch tree (a fake 6″ plastic tree) I have to plan to have in future years. I have complete the ‘Holly and Ivy Ornament’ which is similar to this. I plan to complete more from this collection, by Dimensions for Christmas 2012, which are in my stash. I do plan to buy more from my local Joann’s seeing as they still have them in the clearance bin, please wish my wallet the best of luck.
